Great experiments!

Janice VanCleave has done a marvelous job of taking a kid's natural curiosity, love for the outdoors and fascination with animals and combining them with great learning activities. I homeschool 4 children and when we received this book 5 years ago, even my youngest (who was then only 2) enjoyed participating in the experiments. Nearly all the experiments can readily be done with things you already have at home and the scientific explanations are clear enough that even a "science-challenged" mom can understand them. I would heartily recommend this resource for homeschooling parents, school science projects, or just plain rainy day fun!
